Testimonials: "Dana has the rare capacity to engage with any audience: faculty, administrators, staff, parents, even students. Her programs are always on target, and participants love her mixture of humor and practical steps. In her work with the School District of Philadelphia, she was ranked at the top of the evaluation scale.", Marilyn Johnson, President, MJA Consulting (for the School District of Philadelphia) "I have worked with Dana for over 15 years in a very popular program that I run at Moravian College that focuses on issues of racial and ethnic identity for high school students. Over that time, the program has been attended by over 2500 students from more than 25 high schools in the Lehigh Valley region. The cornerstone of the program is the sociodrama that is organized and directed by Dana. Without Dana's leadership, the program simply would not work. She has been outstanding in engaging the students and getting them to speak thoughtfully and articulately about very sensitive issues. I sincerely believe that every teacher, administrator and discussion leader who has been part of this program shares my assessment of Dana's work. I am not sure what we would do if Dana were to be unavailable to continue her work with us.", John Reynolds, Ph.D., Director, Promise of the Rainbow, Department of Political Science, Moravian College "It was always a treat to have you speak on campus. Your talks resonated with the students. It was not only your message, but also your style, that made for such an engaging program. Comments were consistently positive. Students continued to discuss issues even after the talk was over.", Lane Neubauer, University Administrator "Once again, you were the perfect closing speaker: engaging, entertaining and motivating. We did have a few of the mothers and daughters who attended comment that you should definitely be the opening, because you are so motivating!", Joanne Rosenbaum, Chair, Strong Bodies/Strong Minds Conference (mother and daughter program) "Your spirited presentation encouraged each of us to raise the bar both personally and professionally. We all felt something shift. ",Linda Bean, Director, Interagency Council (for school counselors) |
